An Open Letter To Mornings

You suck.

An Open Letter To Mornings
Megan Dusenberry

Dear Mornings,

I want to like you, I really do. I used to like you when I was little. But when you keep on to behaving this way, I really don’t see how we can go on. I really don't know how people could actually like you. You really, really upset me.

"Morning", because of you I usually don't make the best decisions. I usually never remember the important things like my lunch or phone charger. I usually never remember what I wanted to wear so I walk out of the house looking like a potato. But my mind was all clogged with morning and I didn’t know any better. I think we know who is at fault here. *Cough Cough*

It also seems that every day when I wake up , I look like a huge, giant hot mess. What is my hair even trying to do? Usually my hair is so easy to get along with, but because of you it is everywhere and I don't know why. I am not down for this thing called "bed-head". I am pretty sure you probably just give me a huge noogie before I get up.

Also I am totally not into this thing about dark circles and puffy-eyes that I seem to be rocking all the time. I feel like you punch me right in the eyes every day before I wake up.

And because of you rolling out of bed every day is like confronting some sort of werid looking alternate dimension person that I have never met before.

Morning, you make me feel so weak. I can usually lift my blanket up but you make it feel like 1,000 lb weight that is on top of my body pushing me deeper and deeper into the bed. You make it impossible to get up and I don't know why you do this.

And another thing, "Morning": what is the deal with you making getting dressed 99% less functional? Before you protest, I will tell you that it does not take 10 minutes for a person to find an outfit they picked out the night before. It also should not be hard to get dressed but for some reason you make it the hardest thing. Why? I don't know you tell me!

Because of you "Morning" I have completely gave up getting showered because of you! You make it impossible to get the right temperature of water. You never make it easy to shower because by the time the shower is at the right temperature I am sleeping standing up in the tub.

Usually, the one thing that can help me deal with you is caffeine. At this point in my life if coffee or some type of caffeine is not in my hands I will pass out anywhere at anytime. But lately my coffee has been failing to do it's job. I don't know what you did that it is not making it work but I need you to stop.

"Morning" you make life super hard. It is like playing a game on the highest difficulty. Why? This is totally not fair. Life with you should not be so hard!

So, "Morning", darling? I am 100% sure that you are responsible for all of this, and I think we are going to have to break up. I am unfriending you on Facebook, unfollowing you on Twitter, unfollowing you on Instagram, and blocking your number. This relationship is SUPER unhealthy, and it needs to end ASAP.

So...Goodbye Morning.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
